Saturday Snapshot~February 8

It is so much fun to participate in Saturday Snapshot sponsored by Melinda at West Metro Mommy Reads. I love seeing what the other photographers will share. They inspire me to do more and try to create better photos.

I think that this photo started out as something different from what it ended up being. My first intention was to show a photo of our most recent snowstorm. When I took the photo it looked very white and my eye saw Lots of Snow.

However, after I looked at the photo, I realized that you can’t really see the snow all that well. What I do see is a wonderful collection of gnarled old tree branches. I have tons of old trees in my yard so when I look, that’s what I see. The more I looked at this photo, the more I liked it. I’ve been noticing how interesting it is to look at winter trees. I love the stark “skeleton” quality of the trees.
